It is asking me to ask a telecom agent to put me on a enterprise data plan for iphone before i register. I talked to my business account agent and have my boss' approval to try and get the unlimited plan but the agent says he can't put me on the enterprise data plan for iphone. Is all this failing on me cause I am on a business plan? Even though I have a personal data plan.
[Atrix 4G General] Taas:
anybody wanna sell there Iphone 2G
[Atrix 4G General] W0nderBread:
sounds like the iphone has been activated using your sim card before, so it just unlocks the phone. Try getting a new sim card
[Atrix 4G General] moobieboobie:
got it to work. call talked to a CSR and told me they couldn't change my data plan because i already have unlimited data (on my iphone) and that i needed to upgrade to a new device in order to upgrade the plan.

i asked if i could change my 2g plan to the unlimited smartphone personal. she said why? since i already had unlimited and it wouldn't register in their system if she tried. then she tried to sell me on a new device, so i was like no thanks.

anybody getting this issue? and what should i do?

i'm also on a business account, but pay for everything personally.
[Atrix 4G General] jnizzle:
Put ur sim in the atrix and start using it... Then go to the att store with it and tell them u have switched phones and would like to have ur plan changed to the right one for ur phone.

No questions asked when I did it.
[Atrix 4G General] done12many2:
I'll sell you mine.
[Atrix 4G General] yokopol:
Can sell one too. Screen little cracked but works perfect. Paid 50 on cragl 2 months ago, did like 10 data activations already.
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
Well, I got both of my lines up and going, visited the AT&T store after to get them on the right plans, and no problems at all.

I am debating on if I want to try to do the same on one of my other lines (just to see if you can after tomorrow). :D

To WOnderbread (OP), I really want to thank you. It felt so good to rub it in their face after they said I couldn't have it back (and we had some harsh words in the process). ;)
[Atrix 4G General] Taas:
ok...how much u want
[Atrix 4G General] moobieboobie:
okay, went to ATT store and they changed it no questions asked. went from the iphone 2g plan at $20 to unlimited data for atrix with 1000 text at $40. i'm stoked!
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
Funny that I bet they are going to have record numbers of Iphone 2 activations today. (and feature changes)
[Atrix 4G General] Gvndeb60:
$65 shipped.

[Atrix 4G General] intruda119:

[Atrix 4G General] kdoodle:
Just want to confirm that it's still working. I did it yesterday. After activating the iPhone on a new itunes account, I immediately checked my account for ATT and it said I was on the iPhone unlimited data.I called 611 and dialed 0 for CSR. The first rep I spoke to said I need, to get a claim submitted fon an upper division manager to process so I said no thanks and hung up. I called again, but this tine the CSR was more that happy to assist me. I was really nice to her so I guess that was the key to my success.

Thanks OP.
[Atrix 4G General] haxrnick:
GF has an unlimited plan with her iphone. We opened a new line for me with iphone and only could get 2gig. Am I able to get the unlimited via the iphone2g method? Heard things all over the place and wanted to make sure I could before trying.
[Atrix 4G General] rboone18:
No doesn't work for iphone
[Atrix 4G General] nomisunrider:
Yes, you can use this method to get unlimited data.
[Atrix 4G General] rboone18:
It doesnt give you unlimited for an iphone originally was discussed if it would work to get it on iphone after 2g . Someone I know even tried couldnt do it.
[Atrix 4G General] chikou:
actually its a yes and a no... it takes a longer process...

basically you need another phone... so you can call att to turn off your iphone 2gb plan.. and use a the new phone... then go into att and tell them you misplace your sim card while and get a new sim card... once you receive the new sim card that has not be register under any data plan... get the iphone 2g.. activiate it via itunes... you will end up with unlimited 20.00 data plan.. then you can call att and have them switch it over to the unlimited iphone data plan..

I had the atrix under the 2gb plan.. then i switch sims with my wife iphone 3gs unlimited data plan.. and my sim had to be register with the iphone 3gs so my original sim was connected to an iphone... when i heard about this loop hole i gave my wife sim back to her and started the long process.. took off data... got new sim... activiated iphone 2g... then call att after a few days of it not working :P.. got unlimited 20.00 plan put on my account then switch it to unlimited smart plan for atrix...

as you can see it is not exactly like your scenario but it is very similar.

the key thing is new sim card that has never been associated with an iphone data plan.

granted this would only work if they truly didnt close the loop hole.. I am assuming they would have to make an annoucement from apple and att side.. because apple tos is the one your agreeing on and att is binding with the agreement they have with apple.
[Atrix 4G General] intruda119:
Just wanted to confirm that this does still work as of 5/2/11 9:44pm est time. Took about 30mins for the 2gb unlimited iphone plan to show. Another 10-15min for my atrix to show up and then I called the nicest csr and was a smooth process.

I have a broken iphone for $50 shipped available now. Screen is unresponsive but still activates with no problem. PM me, can ship asap.
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
Had something very odd happen today after getting this on my wife's phone on Saturday. I got an email from Apple and from AT&T today stating that activation was complete. I had to recall the local AT&T store to have them put it back on the smartphone unlimited again for me. It decided to put it back on the IPhone 2 unlimited data plan on it's own. :confused:

Anyone else experience this? I hope it sticks this time. I wiped the Iphone and Itunes just in case. (and no, we didn't put the sim back in the Iphone after the feature was changed the first time).

Interesting. Really bad delay in their processing even though it previously shown the unlimited data add on?
[Atrix 4G General] STLRamsFan1k:
PMed, definitely interested in giving this a shot.

[Atrix 4G General] gaaaouuu:
just been wondering. Couldn't someone just go into their att online account and change their own plan themselves on the "manage feature" without having to call a csr? i could see options on mine. i got the iphone (2g) data plan unlimited and 1500 txt msgs. underneath it, options are as follows:

smartphone personal (unlimited data) w/ unlimited msgs $50.00

smartphone personal (unlimited data) w/ 1500 msgs $39.99

smartphone personal (unlimited data) w/ 200 msgs $35.00

smartphone personal (unlimited data) $30.00

DataPro 2GB for HSPA+/4G Smartphones $25.00

DataPlus 200MB for HSPA+/4G Smartphones $15.00

DataPro 4GB for HSPA+ Smartphone Enterprise Tethering $60.00

DataPro 4GB for HSPA+ Smartphone Tethering $45.00

For those who got the CSR to switch it, what plan is showing on your online account? i'm guessing its the smartphone personal (unlimited data) for $30.00?
[Atrix 4G General] ronj1986:
You don't have these options to choose from until you activate the iphone 2G. Also sometimes when I tried to change it myself after activating the iphone & noticing all of the smartphone plans to choose from, an error would pop up.....so I had to call ATT to get it done.
[Atrix 4G General] yokopol:
have 2g too, cracked screen a little but works perfect, did 10 activations already on it, can shipped for 60 asap,
[Atrix 4G General] nomisunrider:
I was not able to change to one of the newer plans without calling in. When I selected it online, it would error saying I already had a data plan on that account.

I am now on the $30 smartphone personal unlimited
[Atrix 4G General] done12many2:
What he said.
[Atrix 4G General] aglowlight:
I found the easiest way to do this is to get a new sim card. Have the iphone ready to be activated using itunes. Call att ask them to activate the new sim card on the line you want unlimited data. Once they activate it tell them you need to activate your iphone using itunes. Connect the phone to itunes and itunes will recognize that the iphone needs to be activated. Complete the activation process and within minutes you can verify that you have the unlimited data plan on your account after you have received the welcome to att text message. Worked flawlessly.

I actually did this a few minutes ago and had no problems. I've done this three times now and didn't have an issue.

Any tips on what to say to get changed to smartphone unlimited from 2g iphone unlimited? Friend of mine got an atrix but was a new line so no smartphone unlimited. I got her on 2g iphone unlimited with a phone I am borrowing. She's called in a couple times and they won't switch her to smartphone unlimited.
[Atrix 4G General] STLRamsFan1k:
I just brought in the phone I wanted the plan added to and said I wanted to activate the phone and keep my unlimited data plan. First store I went to had no clue how to do it while the second store I went to did it with no problem (adding the correct text plan and everything). You're better off just going to a store. If they say they can't do it, claim a rep told you that they are able to grandfather you but if they still say no, go elsewhere but do no let them change that iPhone plan to a cap or you're screwed.

Iphone 2g data error

I activated my iphone 2g using itunes but still i'm seeing my old 200mb data plan on the att website along with an iphone image. Can anyone temme how much time does it takes for the system to get updated

Also, i couldn't able to surf in my iphone 2g. An message pops up saying that could not activate cellular data network- you are not subscribed to a cellular data service.

Did i did anything wrong? Any help is highly appreciated.

Finally, I got my unlimited data. spoke to a female CSR and it took 30 mins. I asked for unlimited + 200 msgs ($35 plan) but she said I cannot add it on my account (said diff acc0unt has diff plan options) so chose just the unlimited $30 plan.

Million thanks to everyone for helping me to get this!

Iphone have to be wiped first?

I have a friend who is willing to let me use his iphone 2G for this, but he's still using it. Does anyone know if you really have to wipe it first, or could I just put in my SIM and activate it, then just give it back to him when I am done? Also will it affect his current plan at all when he goes to use it again with his SIM?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] sh4dow1:

I did this myself the day before the Atrix came out. It wasn't too popular at that time, so I had to buy one off of craigslist and sell it afterwards. A hassle well worth not having to worry about a 2gig cap. I recommend this method!

[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Bought my wife a new Inspire 4G at the weekend, (I got my Atrix some time ago), and the sales rep at the AT&T store told us we could buy a 2G iPhone from eBay and do this. He said all his friends were doing it. The topic came up when we were reminding him that she needed to retain her unlimited plan coming from a BB plan, (I came from iPhone 3GS to Atrix). They dropped me to 2Gb plan when I bought my Atrix, but I had them add my unlimited back on.

I guess AT&T isn't too worried when the sales people are telling customers how to "cheat" the system!
[Atrix 4G General] zr0ko0l:
So I want to get the atrix for $99 on new contract, I'm still having some trouble understanding, in the first post it says to use a new sim, so if I already made a new contract how do I switch my information over and keep the unlimited? I also read on another post I think page 4 to just use the sim that I got with my new phone put it into the iPhone and when u use itunes it should override my current plan to the iPhone plan. Any info is appreciated.
[Atrix 4G General] gaaaouuu:
Does that mean you do not have the atrix yet?

as long as your sim card (currently using or new sim card) is not registered yet or had been registered on an iphone 2g, you can use it, put it on the iphone 2g and register it on itunes. you will need to reset (factory reset or so) your iphone 2g, then register it with your sim card in it on itunes. it should put you on the iphone unlimited data plan, overriding your previous data plans. Once registered and confirmed you have the unlimited data plan, transfer over your sim card to atrix and have at&t CSR to transfer you over to 4g unlimited data.
[Atrix 4G General] scottrmm:
I got a new atrix on a new contract (switched from verizon) borrowed a friend's old iphone a few days later. Removed my sim, put it in the factory reset iphone and signed up for the $20 unlimited plan. Got the e-mail that said everything was activated, put the sim card back into my atrix. Called customer support, and that was it.
[Atrix 4G General] BAleR:
Ok. My only concern with this would be, what do you do if you cant get someone to change the iphone plan?
[Atrix 4G General] zr0ko0l:
Wow thank you guys for the quick response, that cleared up all the confusion I was having.
[Atrix 4G General] nybmx:
If you call 611 a bunch of times and they deny you just go to an at&t store. If they deny you go to a different one. Really just don't over think it and play dumb if necessary. When I did it I just walked into an at&t store and the guy switched me to unlimited no questions asked. 5 minutes total including time waiting and playing with show floor phones.

selling iphone 2g..
[Atrix 4G General] jey77:
hey guys,

I have a real problem with going through the process of activating my 2g via itunes.

I went and got a brand new unregistered SIM from att store, restored iphone 2g, inserted sim, booted itunes. Everything goes through smoothly until i hit the page that says " Review your information". This is where i'm supposed to hit submit to get the ball rolling. Well.. instead of moving onto the next screen, absolutely nothing happens. It's as if I didn't even hit the submit button. Nothing is loading or processing... it just stays at the Review your information page. I can hit back to get to previous screens but it won't go any further than the Review your information page. Things i've tried

- rebooted

- tried different versions of itunes all the way to version 7

- used different computers as well (all windows machines using xp and 7)

I really need help some help here guys. Anything is much appreciated~
